This accredited course equips participants (students, graduates, unemployed young adults) with the latest knowledge on how the main global trends transform today’s workforce up until 2030, and the skills workers will have to acquire to adapt, as well as to provide an overview of effective employability skills teaching and learning models. One of the main objectives of the developed course is to provide its graduates with the skills needed to succeed in the labour market. This mission is especially important in the context of today’s innovation driven, skills-based, globalised economies. It also corresponds to one of the main expectations of students, namely that they will be able to get a good job at the conclusion of their studies. To achieve this mission, the course strives to equip graduates with strong technical, professional and discipline-specific knowledge and skills, whatever their field of study. These skills, as signified by an academic degree, diploma or other qualification, send a signal to employers that a graduate has the competencies, interest and aptitude to work in certain jobs. The competences, gained in the course, include a range of skills that are needed to perform tasks across a variety of workplace settings. They enable people to adapt to changing demands within a job or move easily from one job or role to another during their careers as the labour market evolves. These skills are often hard to measure, but are essential to the success of individuals and firms. The course can help support the employability of recent graduates, unemployed professionals and others minimise skills imbalances and improve the resilience of the workforce to future changes in labour market demand. Beside this, this course opens opportunities to improve the responsiveness of the labour market: 1) expanding career counselling services in education institutions; 2) strengthening incentives for education institutions to align their offer with labour market needs; 3) improving incentives and support for effective teaching; and 4) strengthening collaboration between education institutions and employers.
